It's tricky, not from the vm/mgetty part, but from the modem part --
usually, there is no way back from fax mode.  The fax will be
sent/received, and then the modem hangs up.

For some applications this will be enough, for others, not.

There ARE some modems where you can go back to voice mode after faxing,
but not for all of them.
